Uninsured Services
Unfortunately, not all Medical Services are paid for by Manitoba Health. Each person is responsible for paying for any uninsured services they require, as Westwood Clinic does not bill third party insurers, unless otherwise notified. Physicians are able to set their own rates for uninsured service as per the guidleines of the College of Physician and Surgeons of Manitoba and Doctors Manitoba. We endeavor to keep rates for uninsured services fair and based on the time and resources required for completion. The following are examples of services that are not included in the provincial health plan. Please ask a staff member for pricing.

International students
Members of the Military or RCMP
Those with expired Manitoba Health cards
